i think unless you're doing a game with some modern firearms, the big drawback to firearms is reload speed. you can't (or shouldn't be able to )reload a black powder gun in anything less than a full action. other than that, i think pistol damage should be a small bump to a hand crossbow (d6 to...

yeah, that's sort of my concern. i mean, on one hand wizards weave magic into all kinds of weapons, so why not have a tinkerer weave magic into explosives? obviously it's a lot more complicated than that... but then on the other hand firearms were the biggest reason warfare completely changing...

well, korg's people and thor definitely fought, (i think it was vanahiem, not asgard though, but the point stands, they were invading the 9 realms and the asgardians fought them off) but there's no explanation on whether korg was even there or not. honestly, it's basically the exact same thing...

honestly, i'm the player. certain character choices have a tendency to... well, create universe changing side effects. i mean, on one hand that's the name of the game, but i can imagine that it could cause some frustration for a DM who might want a certain theme to their stories. my DM is pretty...

what do you dm's think about firearms? specifically the artificer having access to firearms but not really anyone else. gun powder is known about, but really only used in ships, otherwise it's catapults and ballista.

that was what i heard as well. apparently she was training to get back into the ring

yeah but it was snowing in king's landing for like, 15 minutes... so... you know.. long winter.

oh, also, for what it's worth... i love bronn, but i hate bronn as anything but a sellsword. they did an extremely terrible job of showing this on the show (even when they were following the book) but the master of coin is not a prestigious position. GRRM talks about littlefinger being the...

this was your first mistake

ha, can you imagine how differently the audience would have felt if dany said this? "cersei blew up her own city and not a single peasant batted so much as an eyebrow. they aren't innocent."

i think it's fairly congruent with the rest of the show's story (from GRRM's story) that jon goes north. there's this incessant drive for power from everyone, this undue focus on lineage and royal blood. and all it causes is bloodshed. jon doesn't care about any of it, he never REALLY did. he...

in the very first episode, after arriving in winterfell from king's landing, robert says he wants to pay his respects to the stark ancestors and cersei says "ugh, it can wait. we've been on the road for months." that was a planned trip, everyone knew it was happening. when jon kills dany and...

the explanation of the night's watch was sort of a throwaway line, but it's returned to what it was before the show started. yeah, it started out as this honorable thing where people would guard the world against the others, but after no one had seen them in thousands of years, people stopped...

honestly, i think all the characters completed their arcs, and if told by better storytellers, they were all good, satisfying arcs. it's just that... well they WEREN'T told by good storytellers so most everything came off as cheap.

honestly, i don't think their relationship could have been salvaged at all this season. either they sleep together and he leaves, then she writes in the kingsguard book like desperate side piece who romanticized and guy who through away his redemption. OR they DON'T sleep together and she writes...

ugh. you're right. like 10 minutes earlier they make this gigantic point about executing soldiers who IMMEDIATELY surrended, just for following cersei. but no, we'll keep both tyrion and jon alive because... well honestly we can't find drogon and how can we dracarys with no drogon? personally...

you're missing my point. i'm not saying they were turning on the unsullied. i'm saying that would want answers. grey worm was the one being antagonistic. honestly, i don't want to get into it because we are arguing about a show built on political intrigue that stopped understanding what...

they were aligned with dany, and then dany went and murdered a million non-combatants who just surrendered. i think it's fair to assume that they would want answers and they aren't going to listen to grey worm whining about "justice"

at this point, the entirety of dany's strength lied solely in her dragons. the unsullied are worth probably 10 times a single soldier, but they are a dwindling, non-recreatable force. the dothraki had been shown to be outmatched by westerosi armored knights in one of the first few episodes when...

if we were being realistic, this is how this scene would have gone. tyrion: i nominate Bran to be king! Everyone else: no. Bran: but... but why do you think i came all th- Everyone: We said no. i can't think of a SINGLE reason why any of those people would give a vote for bran. also, Sam...

yeah, i think she's said it a few times that all she can really do mouth-wise is frown

i bet whoever takes the throne melts it down and then throws ghost's pelt over it before they sit down

honestly, i think we're past anyone in westeros actually caring about legitimacy. the whole thing with renly vs stannis was basically about "go outside and fight, and when you've figured out who's in charge you can come back in"

all it would have taken is for him to have one line about joining the black and that it negated any claim he has to the throne. like, people can argue that he gave up any claim to stark lands and whatnot, but that he coulnd't have renounced his targaryen lineage because he didn't know about it...

this seems like a set up... but... the issues that i've seen to actually be prevalent are when the guy is underage, but older than his girlfriend by a few years. then he graduates high school and his girlfriend is still 16. it gets into some weird issues.

to an extent, we HAVE been tuning in to see who sits on the throne, because the political intrigue that brought us there was extremely entertaining. the problem is that over the last few seasons the characters have changed so much that we don't really care about them anymore. it's not that we...

yeah... but did you know she died?

this... when was the last time you watched a male superhero make ANY kind of reference to actually being male. like, all i can think of is thor saying he's the son of odin. i don't even think that should count because it's a completely different kind of reference, but even if i DO include that...

ashley massaro died. no details have been released, but it doesn't seem to be suspicious.

so much food waste.. i am disappoint

no, everytime the knife would cut the frozen steak it would explode

on the surface, i expected cersei to execute her too, but not because it was a smart move. there was NOOOO strategic reason to execute her. i mean, if we do a thought exercise to try to ascertain cersei's motivation in doing so, it basically just pans out to cersei being angry, short-sighted and...

pfft. the northern army seemed happy as clams to get their rape on as soon as dany flagged them all pvp

i mean, i get that people have different preferences, but i didn't think it was risky to say that ruby rose is extremely attractive

i don't know if you knew, but archers get a pretty decent bonus to bow damage, and fighters get a pretty decent bonus to weapon damage. i have a t4 fighter (daicas, from the volcano) and i gave him a hammer that does something like 60 damage or something, he EASILY and VERY NOTICEABLY outdamages...

we've talked about that several times. for, i think several years

yeah, i think that was the final straw for dany. i don't know, you're right, it's not like it didn't come out of nowhere. it didn't. it was just executed so poorly that it doesn't feel genuine, which is i think where people are actually getting upset. let's just decompress the miss sunday...

well... he implies that someone should kill her. but yeah, i think it's exceedingly obvious that he was taking matters into his own hands. i also assume that dany knew, which is why she killed him. when it aired, it didn't sit right with me that she would kill varys just for discussing jon's...

was that shown or just referenced? i'm not arguing i just don't remember that scene AT ALL. i mean i don't put it past varys at all to kill people. but i also think he doesn't have any concern about getting other people to do it either

who has varys killed with his own hands? i don't remember ever seeing him actually killing someone him just using her to get dirt on dany doesn't jive with the "she's not eating anything" "well, we'll try again at supper. now go, they'll be missing you in the kitchen"
